If you find yourself in a situation where you need to replace your screen's device, whether it's due to a faulty device or you've decided to upgrade to a newer model, you can use the Replace Device option to seamlessly transfer your screen license to your new device without unpairing your screen.

Each device has a screen associated with it when paired to Studio. Using the Replace Device feature, you can swap out one device of an existing screen for another device without the need to delete the screen and re-pair a device. This ensures that you can manage your device fleet without losing or disrupting the content being displayed or any custom settings you configured for that screen.

Time and effort savings: Users can save time and effort by preserving the screen settings, including screen name, tags, and content playing.

Error reduction: Reduces the risk of errors when manually configuring the screen settings on the new device.

Consistency in user experience: Ensures uninterrupted content playback, helping you maintain a consistent user experience while improving your hardware setup.

In Studio, head over to a screen where you will find the "Replace Device" option. After the pairing window appears, simply enter the pairing code of the new device to take control of the screen.

Alternatively, you can choose to add a pairing code in the usual manner but select "Replace Device" instead. Then, choose from the existing list of screens and confirm.

The old device will display a pairing code as it is now de-paired, and your new device will begin displaying the content with no disruptions.
